China's industrial golden age at the moment comes at a heavy price. China's air pollution levels are astronomical. Hazardous smog fills the air. Air-borne particles drifting to the U.S. is visible from space. Toxins kill an alarming number of people. Sixty percent of China’s groundwater and underground water is unsafe to digest. Let's deregulate everything and Make America Great Again!
